Acute Vascular Diseases

Any irregular disorder of the blood vessels ( arteries and veins) is vascular disease. The body uses blood vessels to get blood circulating through itself. Problems can cause serious impairment and death along this vast network. Vascular diseases can "present" themselves anywhere outside of the heart. Stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), carotid artery disease (CAD), arteriovenous malformation (AVM), serious limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), pulmonary embolism (blood clots), deep vein thrombosis ( DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and varicose veins are the most common vascular disorders. With the rise in American obesity and Type II diabetes, and as the population ages, vascular disorders become prevalent. Eight.5 million people are affected by PAD itself. It can happen at any time in anyone; affecting both men and women alike. Atherosclerosis can start at adolescence.
